Cassius recalls a windy day when he and Caesar stood on the banks of the Tiber River, and Caesar dared him to swim to adistant point. They raced through the water, but Caesar became weak and asked Cassius to save him. Cassius had to drag him from the water. Cassius also recounts an episode when Caesar had a fever in Spain and experienced a seizure. Cassius marvels to think that a man with such a feeble constitution should now stand at the head of the civilized world.

Brutus sets these rules for Antony to abide by; 1. that Antony will not blame Brutus and the conspirators " You shall not in your funeral speech blame us" 2. to speak only of the good things Antony can think of about Caesar "speak all good you can devise of Caesar" 3. ensure that he [Antony] informs the plebeians/people that he is only speaking at Caesar's funeral because he was given permission to, by Brutus and co. "And say you do it by our permission" 4. that Antony will speak in the same pulpit where Brutus is going to speak "and you shall speak in the same pulpit whereto I am going" If Antony does not agree, then he "shall not have any hand at all about his [Caesar's] funeral" Hope that helps

What is the definition of a critical person and what is an example?
A critical person is someone who sees only the faults in other people, in many different aspects. It can be like appearance (even of themselves) or habits/characteristics of a person that that critical person finds unappealing. To be a critical person though, would mean you do this alot. Or you just down a situation all the time, finding the things wrong with it. A critcal person would point out "Your clothes don't match and they're too baggy" Even though this is unnecessary and just hurts someones feelings. Or "Swimming is lame, and only stupid people swim" to a swimmer who has said nothing offensive first Or making a situation unpleasant: "This food is nasty, and it's so hot outside. I don't feel like being with you people" unnecessary and derogetory. There you are. All in all, don't be a critical person, and you're good.

What best describes Cassius?
In "Juilius Caesar," Caesar himself describes Cassius as "lean and hungry," a man who thinks too much and is "dangerous" (I, ii, 193-195). Cassius is these things and more. He is envious of Caesar, speaking of him as a Colossus. Cassius is manipulative of Brutus, telling him I have not from your eyes that gentleness/And show of love as I was wont to have (I,ii,32-33) In his manipulations, he is fauning before Brutus, flattering him in order to further sway him to think as he does. Cassius, then, is suggestive,telling Brutus that they groan "underneath this age's yoke" (I,ii,61). He is seductive in his language to Brutus, telling him I, your glass/Will modestly discover to yourself/That of yourself which you yet know not of. (I,ii,68-70) Certainly, Cassius is deceptive and dishonorable because he deceives Brutus by playing to Brutus's own sense of honor: I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus,/As well as I do know your outward favor./Well, honor is the subject of my story...(I,ii,90-93) In truth, honor is not the subject of his story. He leads Brutus to believe that he has the same noble principles as Brutus when it is power that Cassius desires, not the good of Rome, as Brutus wants. Clearly, Cassius is shrewd as he knows how to sway his brother-in-law, Brutus. Later in the play, Cassius is quarrelsome with Brutus, but does he defer to Brutus, who is well-respected, thus again showing shredness.

What are good things about Brutus and Cassius?
There are many good things about Brutus. He is a genuine republican and has a sincere concern for the welfare of the state. His stoic philosophy and his unremitting honesty is impressive. Unfortunately he is too good for the political world in which he finds himself, and is committed to a model of government which is obsolete. Cassius is not cut from the same bolt. He is a practical politician. He is not so much committed to republicanism as an ideal but jealous and worried about the drift towards absolute monarchy that is happening with Caesar. Cassius doesn't trust Caesar and doesn't want to see him that powerful, because he knows that Caesar does not trust him and will shut him out. In general, Cassius is still better than either Antony or Octavian, who both want to ride Caesar's coattails to gain absolute power for themselves.
Why is Brutus better than the other conspirators?
Brutus was a trustworthy person; he had good intentions. He was a strong believer in honesty which comes hand in hand with being trustworthy. When the conspirators wanted to kill Mark Antony, Brutus objected to it.
Why do brutus and Cassius kill themselves?
Brutus asks Strato to kill him so Brutus wouldn't have to die by the enemies sword *<edit> Because the last answer was rather strange I decided to help. Cassius killed himself once he thought his friend (Titinius or something like that) was kidnapped by the enemy. He asked Pindarus (or how ever you spell his name) to kill him. Brutus kills himself later (thanks to the help of Strato) cause he's sure they're are going to lose to Antony. That's how it works in the play Julius Caesar but for all I know the top answer could be true. I rarely look into things deep. 2nd edit brutus kills himself because he feels bad for killing Caesar for no good reason. Cassius kills himself b/c he thought titunius was kidnapped and dead. after all this, Antony, octavius and lepidus are in charge of rome
Why is Pompey important to the plot in Julius Caesar?
Pompey is important in the plot because Julius Caesar ironically dies next to his statue after Caesar kills him. Pompey was important to the plot of Julius Caesar for many reasons. The first is because Pompey was part of that original trio of people that were going to rule together. Then Julius Caesar freaks out and wants to rule by himself so he goes off and decides to kill Pompey. This makes Julius Caesar very big headed. He begins to like himself a bit too much, and does things just to get attention and pretend that he is modest (like refusing the crown three times before finally accepting it.) This leaves Pompey's people in a bit of a predicament. They have to choose between death, and following Julius Caesar's rule. Many of them decide to follow Caesar, and many decide to just die. Cassius and Brutus have a similar relationship. Cassius needs Brutus to be able to go through with his plan. Without Brutus, he wouldn't get away with it because he wouldn't have an insider in on the assassination plans. Even if Cassius went through with the plans to kill Caesar with the help of Brutus, and he was successful; people would look down on this. Brutus has the power to make anything he does wrong look like the politically correct thing to do. If the group gets away with killing Caesar, then they will need someone to make everyone else see their side. That is Brutus. So in the end, Brutus is being used intentionally, and Pompey being murdered was a good thing to Caesar.
